21st century? Does the emergence of digital technologies and Web 2.0 allow for
new ways of composing?
Being a writer in the 21st century is much different than in any other century for that main reason that we now have computers and word processors. Lessig states that writing now has become coding, HTML and other programming languages. However I think that writing has changed in to very informal writing such as Facebook posts and Instagram captions. I believe this has happened because a thousand years ago writing was careful and planed because there was very limited resources to write on. Now places to write are abundant and infinite. With the world wide web and other digital technologies has created many new ways to compose writing by word processors and blogs such as this website. Blogger is a perfect example of how composing texts has changed. On Blogger someone can quickly draft a flawless text and put it up on a billboard that everyone in the world can see at any time.
